Best paper award to Christoph Gradl at FPNI2016 - 9th FPNI Ph.D. Symposium on Fluid Power in Florianopolis, Brazil.

Christoph Gradl got the best paper award for his paper and presentation, entitled: “A combined hydrostatic hydrodynamic bearing based on elastic deformation” at the last FPNI PhD Symposium in Florianopolis, Brazil. This award is represented by the Wolfgang Backè medal.
FPNI - Fluid Power Net International became at this event Global Fluid Power Association by a merger with Fluid Power Net International and is the only world spanning scientific association devoted to fluid power, i.e., hydraulics and pneumatics.

Research

We want to practice mechatronics also in our research. The main research field oil-hydraulics (hydrostatic drive technology) already today is an expressed mechatronic discipline. We see great innovation potentials for hydraulics by

exploiting the progress in micro electronics

emphasizing the system aspect – apply mechatronic design concepts

a better understanding of dynamic processes and their exploitation for improving the performance of hydraulic drives

courageously applying innovative concepts

Our second area of research – systematic design of mechatronic systems – also serves a successful realization of mechatronics in practice. This work is done in close co-operation with industry.
